Os Novos Baianos - Caia na Estrada e Perigas Ver (1976)

Hello, good evening! Os Novos Baianos is an important a vocal and instrumental group formed in the late 1960's in Bahia that never had an album available at Loronix. I could not believe when I could not find a single album when browsing the archives today. These guys played a very important role on blending traditional Brazilian genres -- such as Samba, Choro, Frevo -- with rock and popular music. When I was trying to make a life as musician, Os Novos Baianos were a strong influence and I got surprised today when I took this album for a spin. Their music is still fresh. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this album never had a chance of being reissued in CD and I'm sure it will take everybody by surprise. Let's see.

This is Os Novos Baianos - Caia na Estrada e Perigas Ver (1976), for Tapecar, featuring Baby Consuelo, Paulinho Boca de Cantor, Galvao and Pepeu Gomes, which is probably their first record without Moraes Moreira that left the group earlier. By the way, Os Novos Baianos were formed in the end of the 60's by Moraes Moreira, Baby Consuelo, Galvao and Paulinho Boca de Cantor. Pepeu Gomes is a latecomer; he was already a professional musician in 1969 and was invited to join Os Novos Baianos after his performance with Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso at Barra 69 Show. Anyway, I don't want to make you bored today with my writing. Take Os Novos Baianos for a hearing and have a nice weekend. Tracks include:
